Gloomy is a little over 6 feet tall and weighs as much as 2,000 pomegranates. The character was created by illustrator Mori Chack. Gloomy Bear is a cute-looking but violent pink bear that eats humans.
Not only are there many depictions of monsters with an overly cute appearance, but also typical kawaii characters enganging in violent and cruel behavior.īloodstains, dripping blood, bats, ghosts, and all kinds of strange creatures are common motifs. Gurokawa takes advance of the expectation that cute themes also feature cute characters and visa versa by twisting it.
Later in 2010, the debut of Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu with her music video "PONPONPON" caused a major boom with Gurokawa goods being sold all over the world, spreading the aesthetic in an easy-to-understand manner. It isn't known when Gurokawa was given its name, but the aesthetic seems to have first spread in popularity during the early 2000s fueled by the works of the manga artist Junko Mizuno as well as the Happy Tree Friends cartoon series.
